Prime Minister of Japan, H.E.
Shinzo Abe received about 80 university students from ASEAN as the first
batch of JENESYS 2.0 (Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange for Students
and Youths) programme, this week in Japan.
Representing the ASEAN youth, Ms. Leanne
Marie Torrato captured aptly the spirit of the programme by stating,
“Through this program, we hope to learn new and innovative economic
policy ideas through exploring the fields of social sciences, culture
and arts, and science and technology. We hope that we can find new ways
to improve trade and diplomatic relations between our countries. Some
people may say that these expectations are a bit ambitious. But the
ASEAN youth now are more empowered than ever. And when we become our
country’s leaders someday, we will see that these things we learn in
JENESYS will be carried out for the benefit of the entire ASEAN
community.”
The participants are divided into three
groups to visit Chubu, Kansai, and Kyushu areas to observe Japan’s
cutting-edge high technologies and its support for local industries as
well as creative industries, experience Japan’s traditional culture, and
communicate with the local Japanese people.
JENESYS is a key platform for youth
exchange between ASEAN and Japan. The original programme was
successfully conducted in 2007 – 2012, bringing more than 13,500 ASEAN
youth to Japan. JENESYS 2.0, launched this year when PM Abe visited
Jakarta in January 2013, will invite 10,000 ASEAN youth to visit Japan.
